Try this please->
open terminal shell -
write this command:
evince
and give the path your path pdf file example /home/user/downloads/some.pdf
its equal like this-
evince /home/user/downloads/some.pdf
all you need is give to the command the exact path of your pdf and opens probably, if this dont solve your problem please give us more info about your problem, like after this you can open pdf files? Are you using Ubuntu and add new users to group users? In your Ubuntu have installed some PDF reader?

Thank you for your help.
however, I do not understand the term "open terminal shell". ???
I really am an inexperienced new person.
